An Uber Eats driver is accused of groping a woman and not allowing her to leave his car after offering her a ride, California police say.

KUALA LUMPUR : A witness told the Sessions Court here that Lim Guan Eng would award him a project for building main roads and an undersea tunnel in Penang through direct negotiations if he could arrange a signing ceremony for an MoU between the state government and a company from China.

Zarul Ahmad stated that he received a phone call from Lim in 2011, informing him that Wen Jiabao, then prime minister of China, and Datuk Seri Najib Razak, then prime minister of Malaysia, would attend the MoU signing ceremony in Putrajaya on April 28 that year, with Lim also attending. "The witness is relevant because Zarul Ahmad mentioned Ng’s name during the proceedings challenging his credibility.

Judge Azura Alwi fixed Oct 9 to decide on the application and to resume the proceedings challenging the credibility of the witness.According to the first amended charge, Lim, 63, is alleged of using his position as chief minister of Penang at the time to receive bribes amounting to RM3.3mil by helping a company owned by Zarul Ahmad to be appointed to implement a highway and undersea tunnel project in Penang worth RM6,341,383,702.
